They recently changed the laws of custody, No one parent has full custody UNLESS they see the other parent as unstable and unfit.

If the parent you want to live with has been deemed unfit as a parent then it will have to be taken to court or you can contact certain child organizations to give you more details about how to leave your current home and return to the home of an "unfit parent"

However if one parent obtained full custody of the child and the other parent was not deemed unfit as a parent, you may still live with them because of the recent change in custody laws, stating no one parent can have full or primary custody.

(in other words, if your mom has full custody and your dad has none ((Also assuming the father hasn't been charged with being a drug addict, alcoholic, or financially unstable etc.)) you may live with the father)

No, the parent whom the child began residing would need to file for custody and also support before the original custodial parent would be obligated. However there would be n…o guarantee that a court would grant the motion.

AnswerFirst, check out the logic of the child's "want." Does it make sense to you and your ex for this to happen? Could the other parent be more appropriate for day-to-day rai…sing of a teenager? For example, common wisdom is that if the child is a teenage boy, it might be for the best for him to go to Dad. However, if the child wants to move because of disagreement with household rules, both parents may want to come to an agreement that, come what may, the move will be permanent. Allowing a child to use the non-custodial parent as an escape to problems regarding rules, schooling and so on, may result in "flip-flopping" households whenever an issue comes up. And, these issues will come up regardless of where the child lives, because that is the territory with teenagers. Of course, if there were issues with the non-custodial parent to begin with, then those will need to be added to the equation. In my personal life, I had to leave teenagers in Texas when I moved to Arizona. It was their choice, but they knew there was room in Arizona. The household I left them to was not the best; however there was just 4 years left until college and it was, in many ways, a short term decision. I missed them, but they are now in their twenties, and are doing well.

No they can not. The key here is the "custodial parent" . You may be able to go to court. But if you keep the child and you are not the custodial parent and there is a c…ourt order saying the other parent is the custodial parent, all that person has to do is call the police, and the non custodial parent would have to give up the child.

Yes, unless the living parent has a court order not allowing them to be with the child in that case the child would go to the next relative that is willing to take the child. … The surviving parent will still have to go to court to have the custody awarded to him/her. After all, the court felt there was a good reason that the full custody award was rendered in the first place.

State laws vary widely in the United States but in almost every state the biological parent has sole rights to custody of the child. If a custodial parent dies the surviving n…atural parent will normally be granted custody of the child.

Here we have to see if the parents were ever fit enough to keep her. There looks like the parents were either drug addicts , drunkards or abusive. That is why the grand …daughter was kept with the grand mother. Now the child wants to go back must see if it is safe to send her back.

Could be possible, depending on their circumstances, according to whatever judge they plead their case to. The biological parent would be the primary choice unless they have …been determined to be unfit. Biological parents are generally favored by law.

No, and you would be breaking a ton of laws as you have to get custody rights first, and have the other parent either stripped of their rights or they have denounced their rig…hts. Otherwise, a judge is definitely going to send you to jail for kidnapping and will just as likely deny any appeal for custody.
